About to build a new slave PC. It's been a while, so I'd really appreciate if some more experienced builders than I could take a quick look at my parts list:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6YWWr7
The goal is a fairly beefy VE Pro slave to handle heavy orchestra libraries like the Berlin series. Budget is <$2,000, right now this list is a little under $1,700 so there's some wiggle room if any upgrades are required. Otherwise I'll save the money for future expansion - 128GB RAM maybe?
Some questions:
1) Is the new Asrock "Taichi" motherboard all right? Its features seem on par with the "Extreme6" which I think is well-liked around here, but it's $80 cheaper which makes me worry I'm missing something.
2) Is everything here OK from an audio / latency / sample-streaming perspective? Any obvious bottlenecks?
3) Should I be going for 2.5" SATA SSDs, or M.2 SSDs?
Thanks in advance!
